I'm usually one to defend Kakao, but a cake is a rather terrible "event" for your 1 year anniversary. Not everyone uses the cash shop and whilst 20% is a nice enough discount, there should be something more substantial for every player rather than just one piece of furniture. This just feels like your monthly events rather than celebrating one year of BDO. There should also be some sort of loyalty gift, perhaps 3 different tiers based on how many days you've played (100/200/300). I'm loathe to compare other games to BDO, but there should also be a special hunting/gathering/fishing events that is specific to the anniversary, not just for dark knight.

Finally something I agree with you about. This is absolutely terrible for people who have been here the whole damn time, yet they keep enticing the returning/new players only to spit in their faces later.

Should really consider doing stuff like this on weekends, especially for the North American audience, unless there is some chart i'm not seeing somewhere that shows that the majority of players have access to the game on Fridays rather than Saturdays or Sundays.I suppose it makes sense though, if staff doesn't work on the weekends like most of the working population so, yeah, that makes sense. Hm.

Still. Dang.
